You may be asking yourself, “Two blogs in one day?” Well, I figured since I posted so much about 2009, I should post some upcoming things in 2010.
When we were home in Phoenix in February, I found out my cousin is having a baby! She’s the first of the girls in our family to have a baby! Three of my male cousins have had children (all girls) and my cousin is expecting a girl as well. I’m so happy for her! I also found out that two friends of mine are expecting their second child; also a girl. I’m so excited to make blankets for the new babies. I’m also going to try a few new techniques as well. I’m going to try to make soakers. Soakers are covers for diapers. I know for a fact my friend is considering using cloth diapers, and apparently soakers are great for them. It’s good she’s trying it out first because I have been thinking of using cloth diapers and if she likes them and the soakers, I know I should make them for our baby (whenever we have one).
When my friends had their first baby (a boy) a few years ago, I made a blanket for them. Since I’m making something for baby #2, I want to make something else for baby #1 so he doesn’t feel left out. So, I’m going to attempt my very first sweater. I’m picked this really pretty bright green color so their other children can always wear the sweater when #1 grows out of it.
Both babies are due in August, so I’ve got a lot of knitting to do! The blankets will take no time at all. Also, the burp cloths I’m planning on making, and hopefully the soakers as well wont take very long either. However, I’m worried about the sweater and how long that will take. Hopefully I’ll have them all finished by July though. I better get knitting soon!
Shadi and I are going to Seoul this weekend to meet with two friends who came to Korea from Arizona! I haven’t seen my friend in a few years, and I haven’t met his girlfriend yet, so I’m really excited. We’re planning on doing some shopping, eating some Western food, and perhaps seeing a movie. We’ll also be talking about our summer plans. They are planning on coming to Southeast Asia with us. We’re also going to be coming up with a plan B in case things get really bad in Thailand in the next month or so before we buy our plane tickets. I hope everything works out well for us. Keep your fingers crossed!
That’s it for now.
Lots of love,
Kathleen
